The scarlet tanager is a bright, vivid red element on the shelf, the fine dining table, and the workbench - it looks great in any room of the home.
This charming bird carving is Swedish-designed and handcrafted using wood and water-based paints. As the birds are handmade, each piece possesses delicate variations in detail, lending personality to each individual.
The scarlet tanager is difficult to spot, despite the male's bright-red breeding plumage, as they prefer to stay high up in the treetops searching for food, including insects and larvae. The female's yellow-green plumage makes her even harder to spot. They prefer to nest in deciduous forests in eastern Canada and the USA, spending the winter in the upper Amazon basin. They may appear in Europe, but only on rare visits.
We create our handcrafted DecoBirds in close collaboration with ornithological experts, product designers and skilled artisans. The result is an ever-growing family of birds where each piece is unique.
DecoBirds are perfect gifts for bird- and nature lovers. At home, they are charming decorations and design elements suitable for modern and more generous styles. Their lifelike appearance makes them ideal in educational settings, and schools use them as teaching aids and playful classroom decorations. Thanks to their authentic, detailed expression, they are also popular as collector's items.
